REVIEW: Comeback Cowboy by Sara Richardson

In Comeback Cowboy (Rocky Mountain Riders #2) Sara Richardson does it again. She brings back the amazing characters from book one and builds an even stronger foundation that will carry you through to the next book. I though I was in love before, but after reading Naomi and Lucas’s story, I am totally Cowboy head over heels.

Naomi Sullivan is a single mom raising a 10 year old daughter who is the light of her life and the center of her universe. Always putting Gracie first, never taking time for herself. When the only boy she ever loved comes home, she is torn between wanting to stay as far away from him as possible and wanting to get as close the flame he still ignites in her. But can she really trust that Lucas will stay this time, or is she setting herself and Gracie up for more heartache?

Lucas Cortez is the dependable brother, the one that took the blame and did 3 years in prison for a crime his younger brother committed. He never thought that he deserved Naomi before and by God he still does not feel worthy of her. She was the only thing that has kept him going, the only thing that got him through when he was in prison. The image of her face, the memory of her touch, it got him through. When she finally lets down her guard and lets him in, he will do whatever it takes to earn a second chance at the love that never died.

But many in the town don’t want Lucas around, and Dobbins threatens Naomi and Gracie, tries to frame Lucas, he has a decision to make, leave to protect them and lose the chance at the love of a lifetime, or trust in Naomi and his family, to stay and fight for the only thing he ever really wanted, to come home.

What I loved so much about Naomi and Lucas is that no matter how much time had passed, they still had a very deep love for each other. Lucas was noble and tried to protect Gracie and Naomi by making the decision to leave, but Naomi would not let the man that she loved run away again. She would move the mountains themselves to stand up for him, to have his back, the make things right for him. I really loved that about these characters, no matter what, love and trust and healing are the front and center of this story.

I really look forward to the next book and watching the next brother fall.

A WOMAN NEVER FORGETS HER FIRST COWBOY . . .
As a single mother, Naomi Sullivan is used to doing things on her own. She’s finally saved enough from working at the Cortez Ranch to buy a lovely home for her and her little girl. Life is going as planned. But when her high school sweetheart comes riding back to town, this self-sufficient woman feels something she hasn’t felt in years: red-hot, unbridled need for the handsome cowboy who left her behind.

Lucas Cortez doesn’t plan on being in town long. Yet when he sees Naomi again-the gorgeous girl he never stopped loving-he’s tempted to hang up his hat and stay awhile. He’s already charmed his way into her daughter’s heart, but he’ll need more than sweet talk and roses to convince Naomi to give them a second chance-especially when she’s hiding a secret that could change their lives forever . . .
